we're here...

well, we've been in michigan for a couple days now and what a blessing it is! we were able to go to church and REALLY be fed the word of God. we also had a party to see everyone here in michigan and let them see the kids. we had a lot of people come and it was a busy fun filled night. thank you to all of you who came and spent the evening with us. we had sooooo much fun seeing all of you. oma and opa have had a wonderful time with the kids and great oma has been spoiling them too. greatgrandpa was surprised how big his little man has gotten and is pretty proud of his great granddaughter. what a wonderful time we're having. my little cousins are really enjoying the kids and jacob enjoys entertaining them too. of course, he loves to be the center of attention. ;)

michigan or bust!

well, we leave tomorrow for thanksgiving in michigan... PRAISE THE LORD!! i've wanted soooooo badly to see my family and friends back home for such a long while, this will be good for me i think. you don't realize how much you appreciate your family and friends and church until you leave it and then you realize what you're missing. i can't wait to really praise the Lord with our church family there. jayden will be dedicated and we will celebrate thanksgiving, Christmas, my dad's birthday and jacob's birthday. we will also be getting pictures taken and partying some more. it will be a busy but fun filled week with family and friends. jacob was helping feed the baby the other day and decided to feed "his baby" so i took a picture and here's also a couple other cute pictures i thought i'd send on as well... hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving and just remember all the things we have to be thankful for.

sooooo sorry!

i'm soooo sorry it's been so long since i last blogged! i've been extremely busy with the kids, work and training a new lady at work. i did finally get someone hired to help me in the office and with the kids. she has been a blessing in that she is willing to help me with the kids too, without complaint, and also has been cleaning and helping with the things that haven't been done in a long time... like cleaning the nasty bathrooms, washing the windows and mirrors, and sorting through things.

the kids are growing like weeds and doing well. part of my busy-ness was that i had to take jayden to the hospital for a day and do lots of things with her. she was a sick little girl, but we believe it was just a viral thing now. she also had to have a ct scan of her skull, because i found a large lump on the back of her head, but the results from that came back normal. we are just praying that they stay that way. the dr. will continue to monitor that as we go in for check-ups.

the kids got their pictures taken recently and they turned out really cute! but then again i am a little biased. ;)
